Operation Save my Braid-Out

[some random old braid-out]

Never fails; I have several qualms with my braid-out;

• I have more "krinkles" than waves. I no like. 
• Those pesky rough, undefined patches in the middle and sides of my head..what the? I hate it. 
• The ends aren't as thick as the rest of my hair.  A mini-cut is imminent.
  

I plan to experiment this weekend, I may try big chunky braids, coupled with drying my hair/braids under a hooded dryer versus air drying. For some reason, my hair is silkier and has more body when a style is set under the dryer vs left to it's own devices.  -

The goal is to recreate [or get within a mile of] Corinne Bailey Rae's hair on the cover of Billboard Magazine, click here to see.
